But we keep thinking there’s a prize in it if we get some five-star rankings. On the Martha Stewart site. Where we believe (but are not sure) we entered a contest for “painted rooms.” If anyone wanted to click through and check out our “studio” \ whatever, our new paper cuts, and those screenprints we’re obsessed with, we’d be much obliged.

So We Know This Is a Little Crazy
Reader Mail: The Hair Problem
In today's Reader Mail:
Dear BS:
I hope you can answer this question for once and for all—what's the best product to deal with my ridiculously frizzy hair?
Love,
A.
Frizz season is certainly approaching. (Um, very, very slowly. But: still! It's March on Sunday!) Anyhoo, we usually use something (anything) from the John Frieda Frizz Ease line, but we can never quite get that balance right between frizzy and over-product-ified, and our hands are always all slimy after we put it on. So. We recently got a handful of samples at Korres (amazing!) and this "conditioner for dry hair" was among them—while it's not particularly designed for frizz relief, it made our hair that much thicker, which in some way defied the frizz, and made us happy. Also: apparently it's good for detangling, and as we have no tangles at the moment, we are pleased to support this claim. And: lovely packaging! Plus free samples. Really, we couldn't have been happier with the entire procedure.
Who else can recommend something to banish the frizz?

Reader Mail: The Underthings Issue
Dear BS:
I know this is kind of a weird question, but I'm wondering—I buy all my underwear at Victoria's Secret. Only I hate it, and would really like to branch out. But I don't know where to look. Will you ask people where they shop for theirs? I'm not talking about Agent Provocateur—I'm just wondering where everybody gets their everyday nice stuff.
Thanks!

Tilda Swinton for AnOther
While we’re way too puritanical to get completely behind her living situation (though really, in some ways it does seem like a family-friendly solution to a divorce \ mid-life crisis) we love Tilda Swinton, and that she so genuinely (almost) 50 and foxy. Nothing (except pie) makes us happier than when fashion houses team up with non-14-year-olds in an amazing way, and this definitely counts. Yay, London Fashion Week!

Recession? What Recession?
These are just a few of the highlights from yesterday’s Me&Ro sale at Gilt. We’re torn: While we truly (truly) embrace anything that suggests the economy is not actually dead yet, and instead just a bit sniffly, this still freaks us out. We only hope (for the sake of our understanding of the world) that there was only one of each of these available, and Paris Hilton bought all of them.
Since We Can’t Get Orla Kiely For Target Magazine Holders….
These are without a doubt the most beautiful magazine holders we’ve ever seen—and we’ve been looking, since our hopes of Orla Kiely for Target ones have been so annoyingly dashed. Of course, these are Orla Kiely for Heal’s, and the price situation is out of control. However: beautiful! Orla Kiely for Heal’s magazine holder, about $31
